I never need to plug anything anything in my own way, in my time, in my thread, because I know that Tom will always pop in and do it before I get a chance to!

If anyone from this thread calls in tonight to chat - which they may or may not do - just call me Sherry (not Sherry E)! (But Mary Jo and Tom will be there too, to answer questions.)

A year ago today, I was in the air heading for my first Halloween at Disneyland. I so wish I could go again this year.

Corinna -

Do you think there's a chance you'll be able to go next year - or is next year the possible holiday trip (I remember that you mentioned a potential Christmas time trip in the future)? I think that the Halloween season at DLR may be a little 'bigger' next year. I'm not sure in which ways it would be bigger - possibly just some extra decorations (like in DCA) that are not there this year - but I think that Disney was kind of holding back this year.

But if you end up there for the holiday season instead, you will not be disappointed! That is a whole different kind of experience, but a truly wonderful one in so many ways!

You know, something I thought of is that when I'm mikey first told us that the animated 'mini-site' for Halloween Time had gone up on the DLR website last month, when I looked through it I clearly saw separate listings for Villains (and their photo spot) and for the Halloween Round-Up. It was after that - right before the season officially began - that the Carnival was suddenly announced (and then added to the mini-site in place of the Round-Up). The Carnival was not mentioned on the original mini-site, nor was it mentioned in any initial press/media.

This has me wondering if the Carnival was somehow a last-minute decision. Is it possible that Team Disney Anaheim was trying to figure out where to put the Villains (since the IASW spot is taken) and, as a last resort, they said, "Let's just stick them at the Round-Up and call it a Carnival"? It seems like they would have included the Carnival on the mini-site and in press from the beginning if it had been in the plan all along. Hmmm... interesting!

Makes me wondering if they are waiting to see how Frankenweenie goes over and may add it with the NMBC themes. Maybe even replace them.

Unfortunately not. We will have a big vacation in spring next year with the repo cruise from Los Angeles to Vancouver and then the first Alaska cruise on the Disney Wonder. I will get to spend one day at Disneyland during this trip though.

2014 is the year where I should be at Disneyland at the beginning of the Holiday Season. My birthday falls in the middle of November and we are planning to be at Aulani for that followed by a 7 night cruise on the Pride of America. When we come back from that, I should have 4 nights at Disneyland soaking up all the delights of the Holiday season.

We will be with you on that cruise! Should be a lot of fun.

All the holidays are great at disneyland so you can't go wrong!

I wonder why people don't have as much fun with Resort doors as they do with DCL doors?

[jenksdj]

Ok, now I need to ask, wo is Millie and where do you see/get her craft ideas? I want to do those door hangers!

 

[Kilted Candyman]

Millie is actually milliepie. She, with a couple others, give a lot of there time and creativity to helping people decorate their doors on cruises. Check out the Cruise magnet threads for their work - http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2897587

She also posts her hosting sites with a lot of her work. Her photobucket - http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2897587

Corinna -

"Delights" is the right word for it! As long as you like the holiday season to begin with and enjoy Christmas (some people don't, so I have to preface my sentence with that!), you will love Disneyland during that time. Some people prefer Halloween as a holiday (over Christmas), and if that's the case you might still enjoy Halloween Time more than the holiday season.

But let me put it this way - as wonderful as Halloween Time is, the holiday season is 100 times more detailed, more all-encompassing, more involved, more immersive, etc. There are decorations all over the parks - in all shops and restaurants too - and at the hotels, in Downtown Disney, etc. Certain lands have themed decor. Holiday music fills the air (in different themes based on the land). IASW Holiday is gorgeous inside and out. The nighttime Winter Castle is stunning. The lights on Main Street are amazing. It is truly an incredible time of year to be at DLR.

I have a feeling that by the time you have your holiday trip there may very well be a Christmas party happening at DL too. I think that a party is coming either next year or in 2014.

I know this is way in advanced but, Dose anyone know if they are going to have MHT at DCA or Disneyland next year?

Kilala -

I think it's too early to know for sure, but I would assume that the Halloween party will again be in Disneyland next year. Even though I think that DCA may start getting more into the Halloween spirit over time and we may see more decorations begin to pop up there again, I think the party is probably going to be in DL for a while.

Thanks for posting all the fun pictures and for giving people some great costume ideas for the party!

Jade - I wasn't sure where Tom was looking when he mentioned the map, but Bret/mvf-m11c posted a photo on Page 29 of this thread - http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=46081006&postcount=428. I am guessing that's a 2011 map?

Also on Page 29 is TheZue's breakdown on the Halloween-themed In-Room celebration baskets, etc., with prices (Nancy mentioned these celebrations on the podcast last night).

 

[Jenn1116]

I have a WHOLE YEAR to wait ... but this thread sure is helping appease the Disney monster while I wait.

Thanks for all the stories, info, and expecially the pictures. Pictures + memories + imagination = I smell the pumpkin muffins and churros from cubie land at work!

My parents thinks I'm crazy for being this excited so early. I'm not sure why since they were QUICK to invite themselves along when I told them I was taking DD next year. I hope they come out of the closet someday and admit they love the magic too!
